7.6 Pony browsing

Running ponysay-tool --browse PONY-DIR, or ponysay-tool -b PONY-DIR will display all ponies in PONY-DIR for you. You can limit the listed ponies by using the option --restrict, or -r, that works the same was in with the commands ponysay and ponythink. See Invoking ponysay for more infomation about the --restrict option.

In this browser you will on the right side have all pony files, in your selected directory, listed except those that does not match your --restrict settings. In the rest of the free space, the pony select in the list is centered. You can move the pony, in case it is too big, by using the arrows keys with control held down, or using the W, A, S, D keys (for QWERTY and QWERTZ layout,) or with the < (or Ä), A, O, E keys (for Dvorak and Svorak layout.) To recenter the pony press C-l (dl with control held down.)

Browse between ponies using the arrow keys or with C-n and C-p, for next pony and previous pony, respectivily. Additionally, Q can be used list quotes for pony, and I for metadata; press the key again to return the pony browsing.

The tool can be exited using the key combinations C-q or C-x C-c.
